A carriage from which a hook or grab hangs via a chain or cable that can be payed out or drawn in by a motor/transmission unit mounted on the carriage that itself can travel along the rail. The rail is made of extruded aluminum and is formed internally and externally with full-length grooves and ridges intended to interfit with mounting hardware, travel-limiting stops, and guides. Of course other forms of construction, material, and applications are also within the scope of the invention.
